3.0 out of 5 stars Read the description carefully, May 31, 2008

By	vidyut - See all my reviews

The card is good, and will ensure that the bottleneck for delays will be in the camera's circuitry, not in the write operation to the card post click.

However, read the description of this particular item carefully. What you get is a what they say here - a card in an anti-static envelope. The card that I got did not look new - the contacts had use marks on it. I am keeping it because I did not notice this detail in the description, because I got a great price, because I needed to use it right after getting it, and because it seems to work fine. But it isn't new - not that the description said anything about it being so.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAST and RELIABLE, April 29, 2008

By	Michael Elder "Doc Elder" (Worldwide Industrial Photographer) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have personally tested several examples of this product against many other brands and models. In my D80 I find the JPEG write speed to be about 9.5 MB/second. It writes raw data at about 8.5 MB/second. Nothing else I have tried is close; not even the highly rated Lexar Professional Series 133X.

I have never experienced a failure of any kind with this product.

I like 'em.
I buy 'em.
I use 'em.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Card, Good Price, October 3, 2008

By	John Irwin "softwarehack" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The SanDisk cards are great and this is a good price. The seller tacks on about $4.25 per card for shipping and handling even though it probably cost them less than $1 to ship two cards to me. But, even with that "hidden" charge it was still cheaper than I can purchase these locally.

I ordered two cards. They were each packaged in the standard plastic shell case for an SD card and then inside a static bag, but without retail packaging. They appear to be new and unused. (I suspect that these discount sellers obtain these by breaking up bundled product sets, like a digital camera kit which includes the camera, a battery, a charger, and a memory card, and selling the individual pieces for a discount price, but I don't really know for sure).

Note: These cards are available from several different sellers on Amazon, this review is for the seller BlueProton.
